Job Description

Digital Content Manager

Flagship Pioneering invents and builds companies that change the world. We bring together the greatest scientific minds with entrepreneurial company builders and assemble the capital to allow them to courageous leaps. Those big leaps in human health, sustainability and beyond exponentially accelerate scientific progress in areas ranging from cancer detection and treatment and nature-positive agriculture to novel applications of AI that are driving the creation of new technologies.
